Forwarding a theoretical innovation that aims to both extend and unify ecolinguistics, this thought-provoking volume challenges ecolinguists to seek a deeper understanding of how languages and languaging influence ecosystems and life-sustaining relations. - Robert Poole, Associate Professor, University of Alabama, USA. …“activities involving language are ecological” – This is the basic tenet of the articles in this innovative volume. It takes ecolinguistic theory radically further by arguing that language, or rather languaging, is a “coordinative activity embedded in practice” which impacts the life-sustaining relations that uphold human living and its ecosphere - Hermine Penz, Professor, University of Graz, Austria.
